Dear sir,

  Your shipment of twelve thousand ‘Smart’ watches was received by our company this morningHowever, we wish to make a number of complaints concerning the serious delay in delivery and your failure to carry out our specific instructions with regard to this order

  It was stressed from the beginning that the delivery date had to be less than six weeks from the first order, in order to meet our own customers’ requirementsWhile we understand that delays in production are occasionally unavoidablewe must point out that the major reason why the order was placed with your company was that we were assured by you of its speed of delivery, and that your existing stocks(存货)were sufficiently high to ensure immediate shipmentLate delivery of the goods has caused us to disappoint several of our most valued customersand is bound to have a negative effect on the potential future orders

  The second complaint concerns the difference in colour between the watches we ordered and those deliveredIt was stated clearly in the original order that watches in combinations of green/purple and orange/purple only were requiredHowever, only half the watches in the delivery received are of the colours specifiedOur Hong Kong agent assures us that she stressed to you the importance of following our instructions precisely, since we consider there to be only a limited market in this country for watches of other colours at the present timeAny watches that are not of the specified colours willof coursebe returned to you

  We are also somewhat concerned about the rather poor quality of the goods receivedsince it is obvious that the watches that finally arrived have been produced from inferior materials and have been manufactured to a lower standard than those in the sampleWe have also found that a number of the watches do not appear to be functioningWhether the latter problem is due to poor manufacturedamage during transportation or bad batteries is not yet clear, but we should like to point out that we feel this matter to be only your responsibility

  As a result of the above problemsthereforewe feel that the most suitable course of action is to return to you unpaid any of the goods considered unsatisfactory, and to subtract(扣除)any resulting costs from our final settlementWe shall also, of course, be forced to reconsider whether any further orders should be placed with your company

  We look forward to your prompt reply

Yours sincerely,

John Smith

Dear Sirs,

Your shipment of twelve thousand “Smart” watches was received by our company this morning. However, we wish to make a number of complaints concerning the serious delay in delivery and your failure to carry out our instructions.

It was stressed from the beginning that the delivery date had to be less than six weeks. While we appreciate that delays in production are occasionally unavoidable, we must point out that the major reason why the order was placed with your company was that we were assured by you that your existing stocks ensure immediate shipment. Late delivery of the goods has caused us to disappoint several of our most valued customers, and is sure to have a negative effect on future orders.

The second complaint concerns the difference in color. Only half the watches in the delivery received are of the colors we ordered. Our Hong Kong agent assures us that she stressed to you the importance of following our instructions, since we consider there to be only a limited market in this country for watches of other colors. Any watches that are not of the specified colors will , of course, be returned to you.

We are also somewhat concerned about the rather poor quality of the goods received, since it is obvious that the watches that finally arrived have been produced from inferior materials and have been made to a lower standard than those in the sample. We have also found that a number of the watches do not appear to be functioning. We should like to point out that we feel this matter to be entirely your responsibility.

As a result of the above problems, therefore, we feel that the most suitable course of action is to return to you unpaid any of the goods considered unsatisfactory, and to deduct(扣除)any costs from our final settlement. We shall also be forced to reconsider whether any further orders should be placed with your company.

We look forward to your immediate reply.

Yours sincerely,

John Smith

existing stocks were sufficiently high to ensure immediate shipment. Late delivery of the goods has
caused us to disappoint several of our most valued customers, and will have an unfavorable effect on

     The second complaint concerns the difference in colour between the watches we ordered and those
delivered. It was stated clearly in the order that watches in combinations of green/purple and orange/
purple only were required. However, only half the watches in the delivery received are of the colours
specified. Our Hong Kong agent informed you of the importance of following our instructions exactly,
since we consider there to be only a limited market in this country for watches of other colors at the
present time. Any watches that are not of the specified colours will, of course, be returned to you.
     We are also somewhat concerned about the rather poor quality of the goods received, since it is
